Companies providing accommodation and luggage transport

Ocean Grove · Oct 2, 2018

In 2016 we used a Portugal based company to arrange our accommodation and luggage transport when we walked the coastal route from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. I would appreciate recommendations where you have used preferably a local company for El Camino del Norte. Many thanks.

There is an abundance of accommodation along that route (it's a holiday area) that can be booked using the booking.com app on your phone as you go. One day ahead is usually plenty, and no need to speak Spanish. And transport of luggage as you go - using Correos. No need to pre-arrange anything.

Below are links to two companies that offer self-guided trips on the Norte. Although these are not local Spanish companies, I believe that they use local organizations in Spain as their agents. If that is important to you, you should confirm that with them.

I have no connection to either company.

Thanks Doogman; I’ll check them out. The reason I want to use local companies is that they can be contacted easily if there are any problems. Friends from Australia used a non local comapany. They had a problem but could not contact the company as it was in the middle of the night where the company was based and the office was closed.

Has anyone used Spain is more agency? I hope someone knows, as they are based in León. Only I feel they will know the Camino del Norte well. I have used Follow the Camino but they only do the Primitivo and I'm not fit enough this year to do that route. I just want to check they are ok.

I use Alltrails a lot here in the US, in Iceland, on the Via Podiensis and a bit on the CF. Will it be useful on the Norte? For example, people here say the "warm up" from Biarritz to Irun (or...

Last May I walked the first part of the Norte in the opposite direction, from Santander to Irun. Since I only had two weeks and couldn't reach Santiago anyway, I wanted to swim against the tide...

Tomorrow I fly to Bilbao to start my 5th stint on the Camino. I did the Frances in three parts (2016, 2017 and 2022). Last year I did the Portuguese from Porto. I did the first 200 km of the...

Are supermercados or other grocery stores open on Sundays on del Norte? Are restaurants open? Specifically, I will likely find myself in these towns on Sundays: Castro-Urdiales, Comillas...

I thought I had this all figured out, but I have ended up with 2 train tickets from San Sebastian (I don't even know if it's the airport or the town) to Irun, instead of ONE that goes all the way...

Hi! I’m a Camino newbie planning on walking Camino del Norte this May-June. I have previous hiking experience and do well on longer distances and so on, but not any super recent multi day long...
